Terms of Reference

The terms of reference drawn up for the taskforce by the Minister included:

an analysis of the Bay area as a multi-functional resource of the city, including consideration of both the landside and waterside

uses of the area;

an in-depth examination of the potential impact of climate change on the Bay area (including storm surges, rising sea levels,

flooding etc.) and consideration of the possible measures to mitigate those risks;

consider the future role of Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Ports, including the scope for expanding reducing or removing the existing

Dublin Port facilities over time, taking full account of the Dublin Port Study which will be in preparation by the Department of

Transport in parallel with the work of the Task Force. Sustainable re-development or re-use of the port lands should also be

considered;

an analysis of the impact of other economic activities and other harbour and leisure activities;

proposals for the extension/revision of existing amenity areas and wildlife conservation areas including the re-designation of the

Dublin Bay SPA;

the preparation of guidelines on the future sustainable use of the Bay Area;

informed by ongoing liaison with a wider stakeholder forum with open membership; and

facilitated by the DRA's or a dedicated website for the engagement of stakeholders and the general public.
